Abstract

Everyday foodstuffs such as tofu, chicken, and fish are ingredients that have a short shelf life if stored outdoors or in the open air. The fungus Monascus sp. is a fungus whose pigment is often used in giving color to food. This study aims to determine the potential of Monascus sp pigment isolated from commercial red rice (Angkak) as a preservative in tofu, chicken, and fish at room temperature. The methods used included isolation of the fungus Monascus sp from commercial red rice (Angkak), macroscopic and microscopic morphological characterization, solid fermentation using rice, harvesting pigments with water solvent, and pigment resistance tests on tofu, chicken meat, and fish. The results obtained from the application of the crude extract of the Monascus sp. pigment in fish survived for two days, chicken meat lasted up to three days, and tofu lasted four days. Each experiment had different results during the organoleptic test and compared to a positive control, namely turmeric, proving that turmeric was still better at resisting food spoilage. This research needs to be investigated further regarding the potential if the pure extract of the Monascus sp pigment is used.

Abstract

Spirulina platensis is a feed additive that can improve the reproductive performance of fish. It has never been given to the endemic fish Oryzias woworae which can lay eggs every day. Therefore, a study was conducted that aims to examine spawning activities related to egg-laying behavior, number of eggs, and egg diameter of O. woworae. The study used a sex ratio of 1♂:1♀ in spawning. The test feeds were commercial feed (Feng Li 1) or 0% without spirulina (treatment A), the addition of spirulina 5% (treatment B), 10% (treatment C), and 20% (treatment D). Observations were made every hour for 6 days. The spawning temperature was controlled at a value of 26.6±0.2°C. The results showed differences in the behavior of O. woworae in releasing eggs on spawning days. Giving spirulina causes the behavior of releasing eggs to occur at intervals of 1-3 hours, while without spirulina, it only occurs 1 hour on spawning days. The highest number of eggs was produced by giving spirulina 20% with a diameter range of 1.35-1.37 mm. The presence of a small egg diameter in the 20% spirulina treatment indicated that an increase in the number of eggs affected the ovaries capacity, so the diameter decreased. However, the average diameter of 20% of spirulina eggs was still the same as without spirulina administration. The stable temperature at 26.6±0.2°C caused the spawning activity of O. woworae to only occur in the morning between 07:00-09:00.

Abstract

Hibiscus sheet mask is a natural skin care solution made from hibiscus flower (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L.). The purpose of this study was to analyze the physical, chemical, and organoleptic of hibiscus sheet mask as an alternative to natural skin care. This study used a red and layered hibiscus flower crown. Extracts were made using the maceration method. The results of the flower extract are then made in various variations of mask formulas. The Hibiscus sheet mask was then analyzed by 10 panelists for its physical, chemical and organoleptic. The results showed that the higher the concentration of hibiscus flower extract, the more it produced a mask that was red in color, had a hibiscus aroma and a thick texture. The higher the concentration of hibiscus flower extract, the more the mask has a low pH. Meanwhile, the panelists prefer the hibiscus sheet mask with the 75% formula (F3). Thus, the hibiscus sheet mask can be accepted by the panelists.

Abstract

Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is one of Indonesia's wild plants which is considered a weed because of its rapid growth that can cause environmental problems. Generally, water hyacinth control is carried out physically/conventionally by throwing it away or burning it, causing new environmental problems. Water hyacinth has a high organic matter content, therefore water hyacinth can be used as an alternative feed to increase the production of earthworms. This study aims to determine the effect of adding water hyacinth as feed to increasing the production of earthworms (Lumbricus rubellus).This study aims to determine the effect of adding water hyacinth as feed to increasing the production of earthworms (Lumbricus rubellus). The research was conducted in the Dasan Dao hamlet, Ranggagata Village, Southwest Praya District, Central Lombok Regency, in the researcher's private house for 60 days. This type of research is an experimental research. The research design used was a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 4 replications.

Abstract

The diversity of pollinating insects is used as conservation management. Pollen is gametophyte from male which can give characteristics to its offspring. The pollen carried by bees can be used as an identification of feed favored by bees. This study aims to identity pollen derived from the legs of stingless bees based on the color morphological characteristics of the pollen. The methods include color identification of pollen collected by stingless bees, pollen extraction, acetolysis, and pollen identification. Pollen with the same species at the study site has a color that is not much different. Stingless bees take pollen based on the size and distance of the plant to the hive. Smell and color as a secondary binder for stingless bees. Different plant pollen species can also be influenced by the protein requirements of each stingless bee colony. It can recognize the presence of flowering plants aroud the hive. The size of pollen can affect the bees in taking plant pollen.

Abstract

Striped eel catfish (Plotosus lineatus) are fish that live in coastal waters but there are also those that live in river mouths. This study aimed to determine the growth and survival rate of striped eel catfish fingerlings at different sizes in controlled media. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with three treatments (different sizes) and three replications, so there were nine experimental containers. The treatments used were treatment A: maintenance of fingerlings size (3.5-4.0 cm); treatment B: maintenance of fingerlings size (4.9-5.6 cm); and treatment C: maintenance of fingerlings size (7.0-8.0). During maintenance, absolute length gain, relative growth rate, specific growth rate, and fingerlings survival were determined. The results showed that fingerling size had a significant effect on growth performance and survival. Fingerlings measuring 4.9-5.6 cm had the highest growth performance, while fingerlings measuring 7.0-8.0 cm showed the highest survival rate than other sizes. This indicates that the fingerlings measuring 4.9-5.6 cm and 7.0-8.0 cm are suitable for aquaculture.
